Espoo will increase rail traffic by extending the West Metro, constructing the Jokeri Light Rail line and investing in the one-hour train to Turku with regard to the Espoo–Salo direct line.

Efficient public transport enables a dense urban structure, reduces street and road congestion, and mitigates the harmful impacts of traffic. The electrical rail network transports large numbers of people in an ecological and efficient manner compared to fossil fuel traffic.
